Grounded in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation – the document in front of you has been developed to account for historical context of the traditional territory, including the perspectives of Treaty 7 Traditional Knowledge Keepers. The first half of the framework provides the reader with the necessary historical context to comprehend the complexities and uniqueness of our shared history and foundations as a city flowing from the traditional territory it resides on. The second half of the framework focuses on Calgary Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee’s (CAUAC’s) proposed policy and action that The City and its various business units and departments can champion to sustain the active and shared process of reconciliation through listening to, learning from, and acting on ways forward together with Indigenous communities in planning, advising, and decision-making.
